Fireproof Brick

A wind claim took us high up in the mountains

. We were in an area that sufferd loss from the wild fires in October. Several fireplaces were left standing alone -- monuments of the homes that once wraped themselves around the stacks of bricks and morter. I've posted some pictures here, but you can see more pictures by clicking on a picture or the link under it.

This house was across the street from one house that burned. The heat from the flames melted the siding on this home even though it was not burned.

Items that were recognizable in some of the homes included the hot water heater, the stove, and the refigerator. Here you can see a few dishes on top of the stove.

Notice that the steel beams in this burned building are melted and warped. It looked as if there were some business along the road that were consumed.

This car parked out in front of a house that didn't make it through the blaze. The tires, paint, everything but the metal, was burned off of this car. Some trees surrounding were burned, but as you can see, some are still green.

Rick had a wind claim on a mountain home in the Green Valley Lake area northeast of San Bernardino. Some homes in the area didn't fair so well. Here to the right is the rubble of one house that was burned to the ground. To the left is a shell of a log home that was gutted. I have posted a few pictutes here ... just a snapshot of our day. You can see more pictures by following the link below one of the photos.
